and engagement in information activities, expressed in different forms such as 'information behaviour', 'information practice', 'information seeking', and 'information experience'. The conference is a platform for research exploring information seeking as
a rich site of study, going beyond a sole focus on technological aspects and exploring a wide variety of contexts.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
